The Burden of Awareness
The burden of awareness
Neurosis of mankind
Conundrum - juxtaposition
Instinctual beast – conscious creature – like a vine intertwined
Evolution
Seeds watered - do grow
Guided by the phylogeny
Tempered – be careful what you sow
Awareness
Uncertainties unfold
The recognition of death
The complexities – certitudes take hold
Credulities
So eager to believe
The truth of the matter
The intellect is deceived
Eternal salvation
Cookie for the mind
Accept where you are
Condemn – you waste precious time
Radical acceptance
There’s liberation in the truth
Instinctual beast – conscious creature
The burden of awareness – it’s up to you
